"The
Fever holds true to its title: It's dark, disturbing, strangely
beautiful and utterly unshakeable. Megan Abbott has created a
mesmerizing, modern portrait of teenage life today: Brutal crushes,
competing allegiances and first-bloom sensuality, all magnified by the
rush and crush of technology."

Gillian Flynn

"A psychologically astute thriller...Abbott's latest is
not only a page-turning mystery -- it's also a close look at teen
girls' ferocious rivalries and intense bonds."

Entertainment Weekly

"Megan Abbott's chilling new novel...turns the frothy world of high-school cheerleading into something truly menacing."

Wall Street Journal

"Abbott has become expert at revealing truths we
thought we knew but didn't, delivered in prose that is by turns elegant
and incantatory."

Daniel Woodrell

"One of the most exciting and original voices of her generation."

Laura Lippman

"Deft, intelligent and enthralling."

Kate Atkinson

"Megan Abbott writes with total authority and an almost desperate intensity; [she] grabs hold of you and won't let go."

Tom Perrotta

"Megan Abbott captures the essence of being thirteen -
all its magic, its intensity, its headlong power and its terrible
vulnerability - and wraps it in a story that's taut, unflinching and
very hard to put down."
